Jeannot Review of When the Bough Breaks

When the Bough Breaks (1994)

Allie Walker is a revelation

[9/10 · 22 February 1999]

She plays an attractive, but misfit, woman--who is competent at her job, but has no romance. The men around her are either officially correct (Sheen) or ridiculing her behind her back (the rest of the cops). Because of her lack of feminine wiles, she is a loner, and can relate to the isolated boy whom she bonds with.

I would recommend the film, if only for Walker's performance.
